Yes the 6 tiger barbs and the 5 little barbs are fine. Just looks like the LFS fish are the ones suffering from this. I added 5 tablespoons of aquarium salt this afternoon. I don't know if this will help or do anything....this really sucks. Makes me so upset to lose all those fish.

Sorry here

Here are some pics....all of the last Denison barb and 1 of the Black Ruby Barb's that dosen't look good and is hiding.

It hasn't gotten any better:banghead: I have now lost 4 of the 5 large Denison barbs and 3 of the 6 Black Ruby Barbs. The last large Denison Barb has a large round white circle around it's Dorsal fin....I think this might be ICH....How do I know for sure and how do i treat this??? Please help...

it is weird that all the fish from the LFS are the ones not doing well while the ones from the large pet chain seem to be fine....LFS bought 5 denision barbs (3 died) and bought 1 red tail shark ( he just hangs around the back and hides, dosen't swim the tank much), and 6 Black Ruby Barbs (3...

the only thing I remember seeing was small red blotches on the bellies on the denision barbs...the Black ruby's I didn't see anything but they are black and a deep red so maybe didn't notice....

Just tested water to see if anything.... Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 5 - 10 pH - 7.6 I am so confused to what is going on....

Have a 65 gallon tank that was fishless cycled. The temperature is currently set at 75 degrees and I have 2 emperor 400's running plus 2 airstones.... I purchased 5 larger Denision Barbs (approx 3 inch), 1 red tail shark, and 6 Black Ruby Barbs from my local fish store Saturday afternoon...

Decided to go this way.... 10 denision barbs 6 Black Ruby barbs 6 Tiger Barbs 1 Red Tail Shark Now that they are in there..... How much food do I feed them and how often. I have purchased flakes as well as frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp. I am clueless on how much to feed them...

So I finally bought some fish today to stock my 65 Gallon... 6 Denision Barbs 6 Black Ruby Barbs 1 Red Tail Shark Looking for some other suggestions when I go to my LFS tomorrow for some more fish... Was thinking 6-10 Zebra Danios for a top level swimmer and looking for a bottom...

Yeah the temp is raised to 82 degrees. I don't plan on getting fish until this coming weekend. Probably sunday. So if all zeroed out tomorrow I expect the nitrates to be 160 so I will do a 100% water change and then I guess just keep dosing the ammonia up to 1ppm until Saturday to keep the...

Monday June 25th test results Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 80 Ph - 7.6 Ok JLK what do I do from here?????

Ok just tested water and got the following results Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 10 pH - 7.6 on regular ph test Just wanted piece of mind....also just added 9ml of ammonia to redose it back to 4ppm. Now we wait until tomorrow....

yes I unplug the heater as well as shut off the power strip which has my 2 emperor filters and my air pump plugged into before I begin to remove the water with my python and then once refilled I turn everything back on and plug the heater back in.....This is correct right????:confused::ermm...

Oh nooooooo I'm an idiot!!!! God I hope we didn't screw this up......first I had my wife help me with the tank refill and I was walking our dog as it was finishing to empty when my wife started to refill the tank. First she forgot to add the prime until the tank was 1/3 of the way refilled and...

Ok so sounds good....but I have a question...do I do 100% water change and wait 20-30 minutes and then test the water and if Nitrates are not down to under 20 do another 100% water change??? Or just do 1 water change don't test and just add 4ppm ammonia again???:confused:

Also I tested the pH twice to just make sure cause it was such a weird reading....

Sunday June 24th We have good news and some bad news.... Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 160 pH -7.0 Ok so the good news we were able to take 4ppm ammonia and zero it out in 24hrs as well as having 0 nitrites. And the nitrates are sky high... Bad news is looks like I am experiencing a pH...

Any suggestions on what are good tank mates for the Denison barbs would be appreciated...

Yeah my wife and son are dying to get some fish. It's been almost a month since we started this fish less cycle. We have decided on getting a school of Denison barbs, probably between 7-10 of them and then we're going to build our tank around them.

Ok will do JLK.....keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow....just added 9mL of ammonia to get it up to 4ppm

Saturday June 23rd test results Ammonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 80 - 160 (darker red than the 80 but not the maroon of 160) Ok JLK so 3ppm ammonia disappeared in 24 Hrs and there were no nitrites either!!!! That is good right???? I'm guessing we dose the ammonia up to 4ppm today and we are...
